Good for the price

Would Recommend

Stayed at Abingdon House following a wedding reception at the Winter Gardens. Staying alone, I didn't want to be spending a lot of money for a room that I wouldn’t be spending much time in. For a very reasonable pric I had a single room without breakfast. The room was small, single bed with wash basin, wardrobe, kettle and coffee making facilities. The bathroom and toilet were just down the hall. Although basic, everything was clean and was no more than what I needed. The owner was also friendly Read more

I liked how clean the room and bedding was. Beds quite comfortable.
Dislikes?
Being on a main road it was noisy but not a big problem. Bathroom clean but needs a shelf, towel rail, hand soap. Light a problem as on a timer and kept turning off mid shower etc, no window so dark.

My stay at Abingdon House

Not the best night i have had but not the worst either
The host could've have been more visible.Would've liked
to have found out about evening meal but could'nt find host so had to settle for the crisps we had . Read more

Response

as i had already exlained about eve-meals, tv in lounge etc i didnt think it nessesary to say it again, you couldnt have looked too far for me as i didnt leave the house ALL DAY!!, i think you really need to develop some manners as you were very rude which was unessessary as i couldnt have been more helpful, maybe you should book into the hilton next time!!! this is a budget clean & homley guest house NOT a hotel!

Likes?
The breakfast
Dislikes?
I did'nt like sleeping on a waterproofed sheet which rustled every time you moved .The mattresses need replacing springs are coming through.Never saw host for rest of the day.Even though we wanted to

friendly and very accomidating

Would Recommend

a little out side the town centre but only a 10 min walk. Hotel is clean with good parking. The room was clean and warm. Local food shops are close. Read more

Likes?
Cooked meals are available on request and the friendly banter from the land lady is very refreshing all times of the day.. Cost of the room was very competitive.
Dislikes?
bathroom light was on a timer so if you took to long cleaning your bits in the shower you would end up in darkness

excellent value

Likes?
the extremely friendly staff; the ease of access to Somerset's outstanding nature reserves; the Taunton Heritage Centre
Dislikes?
Just the filthy state of Locking Road and Weston-super-Mare in general

Good value and friendly welcome

Convenient

Staff were friendly however we were not informed of the check out time or whether breakfast was available. Read more

Response

hi, every guest is informed on arrival that we do not provide breakfast & to leave the keys in the lounge if they check out early & we dont see them, i urge anybody booking any place to stay to CHECK ALL FACILITIES before they book so they know whether or not they provide breakfast rather than blindly book somewhere then give a negative review.

What more do you need!!

Would Recommend

Welcome was excellent, we arrived early but this was not an issue. Very nice lady showed us straight the the room, spotlessly clean and a good size, small bathroom but you don't spend much time in there. Read more

Response

hi, we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us & we look forward to seeing you soon.

Likes?
Everything, excellent value for money, we usually leave fairly early so Bed and Breakfast is a bit of a waste of money to us as we rarely stay for breakfast, so being able to book room is great.

No breakfast possible - strret busy - restaurants distant

1 night stop during our 18 days travel through England, Wales and Scotland Read more

Response

we do offer breakfast as i explained to you it would be an extra £5.00 each, as you were NOT willing to pay extra you did not have breakfast!! i cannot do anything about the noise of traffic outside, we do live in a buisy seaside resort so you shouldnt expect silence, if you dont like busy tourist resorts then dont book a night at the seaside!!!! we are only 10 mins from the town centre so obviously you must live next door to resteraunts at home if you think they are far away, RESEARCH NEEDED!

cheap and clean close to sea front

very clean,value for money

Would Recommend

room very clean but quite alot of traffic noise even with double glazing in front rooms otherwisegood place to stay very friendly Read more

Response

thankyou for your review, unfortunately because we are situated on the main road into weston the traffic does get quite busy at certain times of the day even with double glazing like you said, we are however glad you enjoyed your stay regardless.

ChloeFamily with young childrenStayed: Jul 12

it is so true that you only get what you pay for.

4 of us got very little sleep due to mattresses 'pinging' on every movement. Even on my 9 yr old!
A lot of dust on skirting boards etc. Didnt touch the uncovered teabags as,didnt know how long they have been there. I cleaned out a lot of limescale from the kettle!
BUT the shower was lovely and clean and heaven to use.
We asked if we could have wi-fi for 10mins, but were told the house had none, even tho we found Abingdon house had a secure network.
We had to go out to McDonalds to get wi-f Read more

Response

it was funny that you were quite happy when asked until you were refused the access code for our PRIVATE wiifi, we do check all the beds regularly, i can assure anyone who reads this that there is NO DUST anywhere in our rooms & i am a size 10 & the towels wrap round me fine.

Quietness and lack of intrusion.

The room got a little hot in the evening, which meant having the window open, which seems a bit of a waste of energy.

andreaMature coupleStayed: Dec 11

basic budget accomodation

The room was adequate, it was within walking distance of the town. ammenities were very basic, no where in bathroom to hang towel or put toiletries, no bed side lamps etc. The double glazing did not fit well so there was alot of traffic noise at night. The main minus was no breakfasts being served so had to walk into town to eat. which was inconvenient. Read more

Response

thankyou for your reveiw, i would just like to respond by saying that firstly you booked this on a room only basis that stated breakfast ia NOT included, also you were upgraded FREE of charge to a double en-suite room, it also helps if you close the window, that way you would not have heard the traffic, i would also like to say that we are a very clean, friendly & basic guest house, hence the price!!, so we do not have all the ameneties of an expensive hotel but maybe thats what you should book!
